RIDE AT YOUR BEST
PRESS KIT HISTORY LOOK, INVENTOR AND MANUFACTURER OF THE CLIPLESS PEDAL, INTRODUCES THE NEW KÉO 2 MAX. Since 1983, when LOOK invented the first clipless pedal, we have constantly innovated to design and propose, to all cyclists, regardless of their level, an exceptional and reliable clipless pedal. Launched in 2009, the demonstrated its full potential by Winning the Tour de France with Alberto Contador the same year. The objectives of the evolution and improvements made to this benchmark model was therefore an ambitious task for the LOOK design team since the previous version was already very impressive. Dedicated to all cyclists in search of excitement and the desire to continually excel, the new, notably used by Laurent Jalabert for the 2017 LOOK Marmotte Hochkönig, is innovative and benefits from all the LOOK engineers expertise and know-how. 4

PER- FOR- MANCE THE NEW IS THE PRODUCT THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE CONFIDENCE YOU NEED TO GO BEYOND YOUR PERSONAL LIMITS. 8
57 mm 60 mm OPTIMIZED CONTACT SURFACE The pedal s surface area has substantial symbolic importance. It is part of the brand s identity and acts as an indelible signature on the product. The contact surface of the new preserves the strong lines on which its history was built. Its width has been increased to 60 mm to provide a larger platform and improved foot stability during pedaling. This creates a feeling of unrivaled comfort not found in any other pedal. We also sought to optimize power transfer thanks to its new 500 mm² of usable surface (+25% increase). The shape of the stainlesssteel plate has been revised to match that of the cleat and to keep, regardless of the position of your foot (depending upon the angular float you use), the same amount of contact for consistent performance. Increasing the pedal s usable contact surface, without any additional weight gain, improves the Power to Weight ratio, making the product even better and allowing you to perform at your best. 9
DUAL LIP SEAL NEW CONICAL SPACER INNER BALL BEARING NEEDLE ROLLER BEARING IMPROVED SPINDLE PROFILE The spindle profile of the new has also been optimized. Built around an oversized «Chromoly Plus» steel axle, it is composed of an axle with an inner ball bearing and a needle roller bearing, located under the contact surface, to handle the load and distribute it optimally. A new component has been added between these two bearings. A serrated washer, previously used to hold the needle roller bearing in place, has been replaced with a conical spacer. This technical solution reduces friction, increases fluidity, and by consequence, decreases the geometrical tolerances of the pedal body and play. The sole purpose of the sum of these improvements has been to guarantee you irreproachable reliability. THE KEY ELEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR BICYCLE. 10
FOR YOUR INFORMATION Weighing only 125 g, the is one of the lightest pedals in its category. This has been achieved thanks to the use of injected carbon that reduces its weight and improves rigidity. 11
